ZINIDINE ZIDANE is adamant Cristiano Ronaldo is staying at Real Madrid despite his recent struggles.
The superstar has been linked with a Manchester United return, while it has also been suggested he could head to Paris Saint-Germain in a Neymar swap deal.
But Bernabeu chief Zidane insists Ronaldo – who has just four league goals this campaign – is staying put.
He said: “I can’t imagine Real Madrid without Cristiano, this is his club and the one where he needs to be.
“We all know what people are talking about outside the club but inside he has to just think about playing, as always.
“I only want to talk about his performances.
“Everyone loves him for everything he has done. We are in a difficult moment right now but he is still with us.
“Cristiano is old enough to deal with the club himself.

“I only talk to him about what goes on on the pitch. He manages what goes on off it.”
